found: Wikipedia, Dec. 21, 2007(Alectryomancy (also called alectoromancy or alectomancy); a form of divination in which the diviner observes a bird, several birds (or most preferably a white rooster or cockerel) pecking at grain that the diviner has scattered on the ground. The observer may place grain in the shape of letters and thus discern a divinatory revelation by noting which letters the birds peck at, or the diviner may just interpret the pattern left by the birds' pecking in randomly scattered grain; distinct from orniscopy, divination by the movements of birds)
